Microsoft Band app updated with fix for nagging Live Tile bug

A fresh update is rolling out to the Microsoft Band app (previously Microsoft Health). And while this update is a relatively minor one, it does finally bring a fix for a bug that was causing the app's Live Tile to not work.

Following an update earlier this year, the app's Live Tile ceased to work, failing to "flip" and show progress towards your calorie or step goals on the tile. This update (via WinSuperSite) appears to fix the bug, causing the tile to animate and properly show your goal progress once again.

Have you experienced this bug? If so, be sure to grab the latest version of the Microsoft Band app from the Windows Store and let us know if the Live Tile begins working correctly once again for you.

My band just doesn't want to communicate to my phone running W10M, it worked the first week then stopped. Every once in a while I will get a text in a one way communication, trying to respond just gives "connecting". Great that the tile now works, not that I care, but how about fixing these communication bugs.

Holy Jesus, it actually works. I thought it was from lacking of RAM to my Lumia 735 running W10M.
Btw the app had working Live Tile on Windows Phone 8, I have it installed on my Lumia 630 and it was working all the time.

Live Tile is working. Will the app now update in the background without having to be started? I don't use it with a band, just with the motion sensor in the phone. Real time updates would be a good thing.

I don't use the live tile so I don't care about that, it was way to slow when it did work and no live tiles at all work on my computer because I use a custom DPI setting (MS has still not fixed that, worked fine on win8). I do have transparancy turned on, but nope still not transparent after update. Turned setting on and off, unpinned, and pinned again, no transparency. Still broken. Also the band app on my computer says it can't find my band and crashes when I try to choose manage tiles, personalize band, or my microsoft band. Used to work fine when it was health, the band name change update broke it. So this update did nothing for me. :o(

A nagging bug? That little black dot on the live tile ruined your day? You need to get out more often, amigo. And the new feature is swell.
EDIT: What I mean is I already have all the data I need on my wrist, instantly and conveniently. So, the tile is of limited benefit. Nice yes, but not crucial.

I'll add, I sure as heck hope the Live Tile is updated only when we manually open and sync the app to the Band and is not fed by a continuous Bluetooth link to the phone, which will just needlessly deplete the battery. 2¢

Yup. And in the earlier update (where they changed the name) seems they fixed the Bluetooth music control when using Bluetooth earbuds or speakers. Now it's easy to connect. (Before, a work-around was needed, ie first connect Band to Phone, start music app, then connect Phone to earbuds). Now it seems to connect no matter which device you turn on first.
